MATTERS IN COURT.
Judge White DissoIyss an Injunction-A
slander suit on Trial.


Judge White yesterday afternoon rem
dered a decision in the court of common
pleas. dissolying the temporary injunction
recently granted in the case of VIM. NJ.
Entler ct al. against the Globe Printing
company, Sheriff VIM. b. Baker ct al. to
stay the payment of certain costs in pre-
vious suit in which the Globe Printing &
Publishing company were plaintiffs. Judg-
ment had been rendered in favor of the
latter. and Mr. Barney Elifritz was put in
charge of the Transcript newspaper. Ent-
Ter ct al. insisted that the costs involved in
the publication of the paper during this time
were exorbitant and brought suit to enioin
the Globe people from collecting them. A
| temporary Injunction was granted, which
Judge White dissolved yesterday. The
court held that the great power of injunc-
tion was not applicable to the case but that
| Entier ct al could raise the same points in
the original case by motion.
The case of John Hawkins vs.. John
Wiley. for collection of a promissory note
and for pay for services as grocery clerk,
was heard to Judge White and the petit
jury this forenoon. The amount sued for
was S235. The jury retired shortly before
noon, and after an hour and half deliber-
alton. returned a verdict awarding the
plaintiff Sl47.
The slander suit of Charles LannOn vs..
II. 7. Stewart is in progress this afternoon.
The plaintiff asks $1,000 damages from the
defendant, for the alleged uiterance of the
